It's cute that some people still have this kind of illusions about life


This said, don't worry, I won't waste anymore time arguing about opinions and how to express them in a diplomatic way when you need something from the person you disagree with


You have a great day too ! (mine is already almost over).

Hey, I'm at work... doing that job I do exceedingly well.


I didn't get where I am today without knowing how to 'charm' those I disagree with.

I dont mind telling my boss when he is wrong about his opinion, and I still get my raises fine... In fact about to get another.


Most of the time the two are not tied together. If they are, then your boss sucks and probably would try to get out of giving you a raise no matter what.

the difference is, you don't tell your boss that their opinion sucks. You can disagree with someone's opinion and still be civil, diplomatic, and get your own opinion heard without resorting to bashing, namecalling, or otherwise "negative" tactics.

There is a huge difference between telling someone that he is wrong, and also of course telling him why he is wrong, which is the base of any civilized discussion, and telling someone that his opinion doesn't matter.


But this was really my last post on this subject, I think you all perfectly understood the point I was making with my boss example and I don't feel like feeding the board nitpickers anymore

A few clarifications...


One...The CoC is being fixed. Maybe there was a way to resolve this with less grief, however the first post on it on Turbine boards was replied to with basically 'There is no problem, life goes on as usual', and the topic was closed preventing further discussion. On Turbine boards, I do NOT reopen topics that are closed.


I believed there was a problem, and posted here to a forum that Ibn didn't control. The post had an alarmist title and explained why the new CoC was bad. It got a large vocal response, which was it's intent.


Decal has a lot of non-macroing uses. Einstein makes a mage playable for me and for that alone, I'd fight hard to keep Decal running.


Two...I have a public face, but the people doing the work on this update are NOT me. Paradox, Greyed, Hazridi and Pea are doing the real work on this update. I monitor, throw in my two cents here and there (something I'm REALLY good at). I quickly figured out that I had a LOT to learn before I was qualified to work on the graphics code.


Three...Donations, about the only time Decal receives donations is when it is NOT working. Makes me wonder what type of behavior people are trying to reward. The last time we had a lot of donations, we used it to set up a hospitality suite for players and Turbine at ACPL. We really don't have a way to fairly distribute donations, so please don't worry about it. You really want to thank Decal Devs? Quit using any plugin with 'Tank' in it's name.

Lol ^^^


/me starts the countdown timer until the flames REALLY start

Uh, I am balsier than most. I have gone against my boss'es wishes when he was right there to see it being done. When he started raising cane, I told him to F off, or fire me. He F'ed off, he knew what I was doing would be acceptable to the people above him, so his opinion meant squat. A few days later he came back saying I had done the right thing (it was do it then, or it was too late to do) and he was wrong.


Way I look at it, is if its screwing over customers, and losing thier bussiness for good, its wrong, and I would rather quit or get fired than stay somewhere that sooner or later is going to lose enough bussiness to go under and I lose my job anyway.


The particular case I am talking about was over $1, it was our mistake, we would had lost $50+ instantly and thier bussiness. That is not worth one single dollar, which was our mistake to begin with.

I know, and I will get flamed to say it ... most people don't care about you devs as long as they get their Decal/tank fix every month. It's only when things don't work that they care about you.

It is human nature, sadly.





I'm glad because I've been thanking the Decal devs for many years now, and I will keep on doing it

I will have to have a look at "Einstein" though, I've been playing mages without it relatively efficiently, I wonder what it would add for me.

Einstein basically handles the selection of element for me, and keeps track of what monsters have already been vulned/imped. As a support mage, being able to select unimped monsters is a real boon. When fighting, it selects the element for me (after I have set it) so acts as my memory. And with it's keyboard mapping, I can play almost entirely from the keyboard which makes the game much more enjoyable to me. Navigating spellbars with mouse or keyboard is a major pain.


Oh...and it buffs.
